AISI 303Se Stainless Steel vs. AISI 329 Stainless Steel

Both AISI 303Se stainless steel and AISI 329 stainless steel are iron alloys. Both are furnished in the annealed condition. They have a moderately high 91% of their average alloy composition in common. There are 33 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (2, in this case) are not shown.

For each property being compared, the top bar is AISI 303Se stainless steel and the bottom bar is AISI 329 stainless steel.
